called to the rescue can then save germany it is better for her to try to obtain peace now while recent military successes give her a basis upon which to build pretensions to favorable terms a significant fact is the sharp de cline in the prices of shares of ger man industries connected with the war and the sudden rise of shares in industries unconnected with the war which points to a belief in germany that von beulow's alleged peace mis sion will prove successful it also accounts for the simultaneous reports of peace missions from all the neu tral capitals including the vatican
